Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;

Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
